Robert Crumb got tired of Fritz and killed him off.  The Ralph Bakshi movie was the most successful independent cartoon like, ever, and Crumb got 10% of the 90 mil+ the movie raked in.  Listen, anyone who wants a character for their next project, give me 10% off the top and you can do whatever you wish to my rabbit.  Whatever . Vaughn Bode warned Bakshi that working with Robert Crumb was going to be a nightmare.  If you know anything about Bode that was a warning that should have been taken very seriously.  But hey, so what?  90 large in 1972.

  Hokas.  An alien race that looks exactly like Earth Teddy Bears and believes in the literal truth of all fiction.  They love human culture and live the stories they read about from us, becoming Napoleon Bonaparte to Sherlock Holmes.  From Hoka! Hoka! Hoka! by Gordon R. Dickson and Poul Anderson. Extraordinary illustrations by Edd Cartier. Talking bears.  Yeah, right.

 I have always loved Tracy Butler's Lackadaisy Cats comic-now that the comic has been turned into a animated show (with hopefully more episodes to come),I'm even more excited! There is also a 11 minute animated loop featuring the soundtrack to the pilot episode which I based this fan art on. From sketch~ To finished painting~ The original video~ My fan art video~ Hopefully more Lackdaisy fun will be on You Tube soon!

 A painting of making memories in 1973!  These big stereo consoles were all the rage-most came with a radio,record player, and 8-track tape player. It's a hard choice what record or tape in their collection these two girls should play first! From sketch~ To finished painting~ Maybe they're listening to this?
